About You, "The Professional"...

What I find most rewarding about my job:
Sharing my passion with other people who might come in with a casual interest. Taking that casual interest and turning it into a passion for them as well. I also find it rewarding to teach Junior Divers and watch them grow and develop and become interested in the ecosystems and the marine biology.

What I am most proud of (professionally):
I'm most proud of the great staff that I've either trained and acquired and their commitment to teaching excellent divers.

Greatest piece of business advice I ever received:
1. Get a good spreadsheet and pos software and keep your inventory up to date (not that I've always followed this advice, but it's good advice!) 2. Hire the best people and keep them happy!

Where I see myself and/or business in 5 years:
Bigger and better than we are. I will be in my late 60's by then and hope to be doing a lot more diving and trips and spending less time in the shop!

About You, "The Person"...

Favorite place to dive:
1. Cozumel 2. Palau 3. Cayman Islands

Most memorable dive experience:
There are two and they have to do with my favorite places to dive: First, seeing a turtle with a 5 foot shell lying in the sand on the bottom on Paseo del Cedral in Cozumel and having her look over her shoulder at us and not move, but just watch us as we praised her beauty! Second, seeing the giant clams in Palau and diving Jellyfish Lake and Blue Corner!!

Something people would be surprised to learn about me:
I also make one of a kind lampwork glass beads that represent the colors, the reef and the fish and creatures I see underwater. This is my second passion, spending time in my glass studio playing with fire!
